Say You'll Stay | Jacob Whitesides

❁Chapter 7❁

Okay I'm so sorry I didn't update on Friday. I had to pack because I was going on vacation and I couldn't update when I was gone because my phone didn't have signal but here is the update:)

________________________

Jamie's POV

I woke up the next morning and immediately remembered today was me and Jacob's date. I checked my messages expecting to see a text from Jacob, but there was nothing.

I hoped out of bed and headed to the shower. After I had finished, I went downstairs to grab a quick breakfast and then headed back to my room. My mom was gone, as usual, so I had the whole house to myself.

I checked the time on my phone,

11:20

And still no message from Jacob. I figured he'd text me reminding me about our date, but he hasn't.

I recently began taking dance classes again like I used to back in Oregon. We had an early rehearsal today so I headed to my closet and changed into my dance wear.

I grabbed my bag and then headed downstairs to get my keys. My mom doesn't like me driving when she's not home but I really had no choice. I got in my car and took off.

Jacob's POV

Today was the day, I thought. It was the day of me and Jamie's date. I was currently going through my closet, trying to plan out what I was going to wear. I was so frustrated, it got to a point where I decided to ask my mom for help.

"MOM HELP IT'S AN EMERGENCY" I yelled from my room

"WHAT? WHAT IS IT?" she says worriedly as she enters the doorway

"Can you help me pick out what I should wear for me and Jamie's date" I said trying not to laugh

"Jacob don't scare me like that!"

I couldn't help but laugh

She comes over and sees all my clothes I had scattered on my bed. She chooses an outfit for me and tells me to put away all the clothes I had scattered everywhere. I did what I was told then got out my phone to text Jamie.

I didn't expect her to respond because it was 1:30 and she was at her dance rehearsals.

Jamie's POV

I had just got out of dance and I checked my phone to see a message from Jacob:

Jacob: 3:00 today, don't forget;)

It was currently 2:00 so I had an hour to get ready. I quickly drove home than went straight to the shower. After I finished, I lightly curled my hair and did my makeup. I put on some shorts, a black tank top, a creme colored cardigan, and some white converse. I grabbed my phone and checked the time,

2:55

In a few minutes, I'll be going on a date with Jacob. I smiled just thinking about it.

The doorbell rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. I ran downstairs and opened the door. The first thing I see is Jacob standing there with his hands in his pockets, smiling at me. He was wearing a red flannel and black jeans.

"Hi" was all that he managed to say. I can tell he was really nervous

"Hey" I replied

I closed the door and we began walking together.

"So what do you have planned?" I ask

"It's a surprise"

He held my hand and intertwined our fingers together.
